Have them both spawned already, keeping the heavy one off screen until the moment the heaviness is to set it, then swap them real quick (or destroy the light and swap the heavy in)? Or something alon

Damn. That sucks. I'm trying to make an actor transform from a small light actor to a dense heavy one. I was using two different actors with spawn/destroy, but that's really processor intensive so I'm

I just added a layer to the whole screen, which is only watching click and release and changes an attribute accordingly.

Yeh it would be extremely nice and helpful if within the scene layers where it shows the individual actors there was two switches - 1 for visibility and 1 to be able to lock that layer. I know they've

A lock and unlock in the in the layer list is EXTREMELY NECESSARY as well. I'm tired of accidentally nudging "invisible" actors and screwing things up. Its like DEVELOPING ON ICE C

This setting should be placed (IMO) in the layers list...in front of the layer name and a snowflake/sun icon is a common toggle icon. Another additional feature operating in the same way would be an

Create nicer looking countdown clock, in corner right, either create the needed digits in photoshop, so they look smarter, with a stroke, drop shadow or something. Or perhaps a stopwatch which counts

It depends more on the size of the actor I think. I have background actors with a 480 width that I can hide off screen and they don't get destroyed.

I have an icon and if I click it, it spawns the same actor on top of itself.

a household name but those are usually only the top few percent anyway. That goes for actors, musicians and businesses.

In a game I'm working on now I have a small ball that is set to collide with different objects and then destroy itself if it hits certain objects. I also have a collision rule to collide with itself.

it's in the behaviors list (alphabetical order) and it's towards the top right after you double click on an actor.

i can spend hours on one layer style in photoshop lol

set up the same actor above and add 2 constrains to it (self.position.X and Y) and place 2 text samples (I usually make one really big in white and the other small in black since the are on top of eac

(I use them all the time and keep an actor in the top of my list handy for such a purpose)

Case in point...More Cupcake...at $1.99...no one would buy it but at $0.99 it sits in the top 10 for weeks.

We should document this better, but when a layer becomes , it's sort of in a different coordinate space, so unscrollable layers do not collide well with scrollable layers.

I have a game with a ball and some walls, so all you should do is bounce to the top.

EDIT: You could also probably "recycle" the bad guys. When they get shot don't destroy them. Just move them to the next spot in the level. You could probably then have only 3 or 4 ba
